An especially inspiring morning sky stayed with me after the beach walk. With canvas and oil paint, I explore colors as they reflect in the water and in the clouds. The gallery-wrapped sides are painted black and the work comes wired to hang.

Reflected in Nancy Hughes Miller’s paintings are the coastal and rural environments of southeastern North Carolina, her birthplace, where she still spends much of her time. As a child, Nancy’s primary education did not include art classes, so she was delighted when one day her oldest brother returned home from college with newsprint and charcoal. She went on to pursue a career path in graphic design and fine arts. Now a full-time artist, Nancy experiments with vibrant colors and fluid forms to create her non-traditional, painterly landscapes. She enjoys working with oils, a medium that dries slowly and lends itself nicely to blending. Nancy strives to produce artwork that is, according to her, “quiet, yet bold.”

Thanks for your post! It makes me feel great to hear that you're happy with your new painting—Enjoy!

Hi again D Walker, OOPs, Sorry I was confused. Now I see the piece you're interested in is "Daybreak Shore" and it is available for purchase and delivery prior to November -- usually paintings arrive 7-10 days after purchase, or longer depending on your location. The folks at Ugallery.com can answer your delivery questions. Hope you decide to proceed. And yes, the photos are a realistic depiction of the actual artwork. Thanks again!
